In order to work on sex anxiety, or any kind of anxiety, is to work out the root-cause of the problem. Why do you feel anxious about sex? What particular element of it gets you worried?
Is it showing your naked body or concerns about your ‘performance’? What is it about sex that gives you anxiety?
It may help you to know that sex anxiety is incredibly common among both men and women although it tends to be more prevalent in men. Most men will experience some form of sexual
problem at some point in their lives. The two most common problems are erectile dysfunction and performance anxiety. For some people they only experience short periods of sexual anxiety whereas others suffer with it more long term.
Learn To Love Your Body
If you feel anxious about your body then you need to focus on improving your view of yourself and your self-worth. Everyday look in the mirror and pick three things that you like about your appearance and say it aloud to yourself. For example, I love my eyes or I love my shoulders. Whatever it is focus on the positives. Do not focus on any areas that you feel negative emotions about.
Get To Know Your Own Body
An important part of a healthy sex life is getting to know your own body and your likes and dislikes. Masturbation is a key part of this. Make time to explore your own body that way you can better communicate your wants and desires to your partner.
Communication Is Key
If you feel anxious or nervous about sex then talk to your partner about it. Communication is the key to any successful relationship. The more you talk about sex together the more positive your experience will be. If you’re feeling anxious tell them. If they’re a good partner they will want to work on that with you.

I am deeply convinced that each patient needs a unique, individual approach. Therefore, I use different psychotherapy methods in my work. During my studies, I discovered an in-depth interest in people as a whole and the belief in the inseparability of mind and body, and the importance of emotional health in physical health. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (a big fan of thrillers) and going on hikes.
